"When I signed this film (Lootera), I thought the audience will get to see something different from me. I play an intense lover. Hopefully, people will get to see that I can act, there is intensity and depth and a range of emotions," the 27-year-old said on Sunday at a special screening of ‘Lootera’.

He believes it's different from his past movies.

"In 'Band Baaja Baarat' my character was uninhibited, loud and vivacious, and 'Ladies Vs Ricky Bahl' was a glamorous film. I just had to look good. It was not necessarily a performance film, but 'Lootera' is," he added.

Directed by Vikramaditya Motwane, "Lootera" is a period romance and stars Sonakshi Sinha opposite Ranveer. It hits theatres on Friday.

Ranveer, who is awaiting four releases in the near future, hopes each one will take him a step forward as an actor.
